The rail bit is finished now but I have to say it was very good. They went through the 1975 DRRTs study, the history of political interference by various Transport Ministers in the 80s, how Transport 21 is just basically a rehash of what was in the 1975 report - Bertie who announced T21 was just 24 when DRRTs was published, how roads investment have always won over rail because there was local votes by building roads. Then at the end he pulled a map out from 1914 which had an underground interconnector drawn between Heuston and Connolly and said maybe a hundred years later it might actually be built.
